House Avari

Nestled within the heart of the bustling city of Ravenport lies House Avari, a name synonymous with opulence, maritime dominance, and a legacy that spans generations. With their roots deeply intertwined in the fabric of the city's history, House Avari has risen to become one of Ravenport's most influential and prosperous noble families. Yet, behind the veil of prosperity, a tale of tragedy and rivalry casts a shadow upon their storied past.
The story of House Avari is one of entrepreneurial spirit and astute business acumen. Founded during the early days of Ravenport's establishment, the Avari family quickly recognized the potential of the city's strategic coastal location. They seized the opportunity to build a maritime empire, laying the foundation for their future prosperity.
Central to House Avari's economic supremacy is their ownership and operation of the largest shipping company in Rubrik, the Avari Shipping Company. This maritime fleet, which spans across vast oceans and distant shores, serves as a testament to the family's prowess in trade and transportation. The Avaris' ability to navigate complex trade routes and deliver goods with unmatched efficiency has solidified their status as key players in the city's commercial landscape.

House Avari and House Darcia

House Avari's history is marked by a storied rivalry with their counterparts, House Darcia. The bitter enmity between these two noble families has shaped Ravenport's political and economic dynamics for generations. While the origins of this rivalry remain shrouded in mystery, its impact is felt throughout the city, sparking fierce competition in various domains, from business dealings to political maneuvering.
The rivalry between House Darcia and House Avari in Ravenport is believed to have begun generations ago. It is said that the two families were once close allies, but a series of disputes and betrayals drove a wedge between them, leading to the bitter enmity that exists to this day.
Despite numerous attempts at reconciliation, the feud has never been fully resolved. The Avaris and the Darcias have become entrenched in their animosity towards each other, with each side passing down their grievances to the next generation. Even those who have no direct involvement in the feud still feel its effects, as the bitter rivalry has created a deep divide within Ravenport's merchant community.

Zeph Avari

Zeph was the last surviving member of House Avari for several years after his parents Vaco and Cara were tragically killed under mysterious circumstances. Despite the devastating loss of his family, Zeph has continued to thrive in Ravenport. Currently, he holds the esteemed position of Guildmaster for the Seekers Guild and serves as a council member on the Guilders Circle.
Zeph was born and raised in Ravenport under the auspices of the influential House Avari. His parents were prominent members of the Merchants Guild, and their family owned the largest shipping company in Ravenport. Zeph was a curious child who often landed in trouble with his parents for eavesdropping on private conversations. He was also known for his rebellious nature and resistance towards authority, but was fiercely loyal to his loved ones.
After the tragic death of his parents, Zeph became determined to seek justice by proving the Darcia family's role in the murder and avenging his parents' death. Despite being the only one who suspected House Darcia, Zeph was convinced of their guilt. He believed that the Darcia family had always harbored jealousy towards the Avaris' wealth and status. Although the council ruled the deaths as a mugging, Zeph refused to accept this conclusion.
As a result of his parents' murder, the Avari Shipping Company's fortunes began to decline, and Zeph's uncle Rhyan Avari took over the company. However, Rhyan was not as skilled as Zeph's parents in managing the business. Consequently, the Darcia family took over many of the shipping contracts in Ravenport. Rhyan had surprisingly struck a deal with House Darcia which resulted in the two shipping companies joining forces and becoming the Avari and Darcia Shipping Company, much to the anger of Zeph.
In a shocking turn of events, it was later revealed that House Darcia was indeed responsible for the brutal murder of Vaco and Cara Avari, sending shockwaves through the city of Ravenport. The investigation into the murder had remained a complex and unsolved mystery for years, but new evidence and a diligent pursuit of justice ultimately unveiled the truth.
The evidence pointed to a sinister conspiracy involving House Darcia and Vaco Avari's own brother, Rhyan Avari. It was discovered that House Darcia and Rhyan had colluded to orchestrate the murder of Vaco and Cara in a bid to gain control of the Avari Shipping Company and its vast wealth.
Rhyan Avari and Marcus Darcia are currently serving sentences in prison and the Avari Shipping Company has been returned once again to its presitigous position with the reigns having been given to Zeph's adopted son, Zeke.
